Yes, horrible song and horrible voice just because she chose the best story which was selling perfectly!
Either Australian Korean or Russian should get the first prize and many singers should have been in top10.
Anyway, such contest will never witness singers like ABBA and Celine any more when it only caters for politics.

I still remember when every country sang in their national language, now 90% sing in English with a horrible accent. It makes one want to puke.

Ha, I think the mainland Europe is already occupied by English culture, soapies, movies and music!
You guys even launch English music CDs (i mean local singers) in Germany not in Deutschland.

By popular vote, Russia should have won the contest. It was the jury from the TV stations – all of them state controlled – gave Ukraine the most points. There was quite a sh*t storm when Ukraine was announced winner as everybody know that even this sh*tty contest has become a political tool.

I really wanted Russia to win, btw why was everyone singing in English ??

Isn't it Germanic Europe is the most socialist place in the world?

Why are we typing English here and why are people in India using English to learn medicine and watching English channels?

I don't really care who wins, but this time the propaganda and demonisation of Russia was too obvious, thus the sh*tstorm against the organisation.

Ever since more and more countries started to sing in English, this show has become a joke. the original name of this contest was in French "Concours Eurovision de la chanson", now everyone just call it Eurovision Song contest.

English influence is very strong outside East Asia.
Even in China Korea and Japan, students learn English at school (though few actually use it in daily life and always ranking the worst in IELTS).

I agree with you on this one, in India almost everyone learns English along with the national language & the language of his state.

It was not even the best story, but, politically the right story. You know, a golden chance to attempt to name and shame Russia.

These folks tend to forget that, by supporting a war time criminal social group, they have come dangerously close to supporting the Nazis.

That's why I said that in WWII, the Nazis didn't lose but Germany. The Nazis just changed their disguise (also see Operation Papaerclip).

I didn't really know what the song was about when I heard it the first time.
But from her crazy and hatred performance, it is very clear, it's not a song but a way to express her resentment.
Anyway, for singers themselves, I only see Australian Korean and that Russian guy will have a very bright future in the industry, the Ukrainian fighter will be forgotten soon.
Her yelling at the stage gave a lot of audience a nightmare.

 

[AndrewJin]

Just heard some other songs.
Poland's, and many other songs favoured by public votes were ruined by politics-driven jury.

DON'T watch that Ukrainio song,,,,nightmare

Oil Train Derails and Catches Fire in Oregon
Justin Worland @justinworland June 3, 2016

Local schools were evacuated as the train caught fire

A crude oil train caught fire in Oregon on Friday after derailing near the Columbia River in the town of Mosier.

Local schools were evacuated and photos from the scene showed plume of smoke rising above the trees. A total of eight cars of the Union Pacific train filled with fuel had derailed and only had caught fire, a Oregon Department of Forestry spokesperson told KATU News. State officials said a portion of the interstate highway had been closed.

Energy companies have come to rely on the country’s railroad network to transport crude oil in response to the fracking boom of the last decade. The oil exploration method allows oil engineers to dig up oil in locations that would have been unthinkable just years ago, and oil trains are the most efficient way to get natural resources from the field to the refinery.

Activists say these trains pose a risk to the millions who live along the tracks where crude oil trains travel. Train tracks and tanker cars weren’t built to accommodate trains carrying loads of heavy crude oil, making the trains more likely to derail. The deadliest incident killed 47 people in the town of Lac-Mégantic, Quebec in 2013.

“History has repeatedly shown just how deadly and dangerous oil train crashes can be,” Sierra Club campaigner Lena Moffitt said Friday. “Simply put, transporting oil by rail—or by any method—is a disaster waiting to happen.”

Union Pacific did not immediately return a request for comment.
